Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Patriots have waived TE Matt Lengel with an injury designation on Sunday.
Should Lengel pass through waivers unclaimed, he would revert to the team’s injured reserve list on Monday.
Lengel, 26, wound up signing on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Kentucky back in May of last year. He spent his rookie season on the team’s practice squad before returning to the team on a future/reserve contract this past January.
The Bengals once again waived him coming out of the preseason and later signed him to their practice squad.
